AS Roma back within a point - Roma again without Hummels

After Roma's 1-0 win against US Cremonese, Jose Mourinho's team is back just one point behind Juventus Turin in the standings. But the Giallorossi have to do without Mats Hummels for the time being.

The German defender picked up a muscle injury in training and will be out for the next few weeks. This is a bitter setback for Roma, as Hummels has been one of the team's best players this season. The 33-year-old has played in all 15 Serie A games so far and has scored two goals.

In Hummels' absence, Marash Kumbulla and Gianluca Mancini are likely to form Roma's central defence. The two youngsters have played well together in recent weeks and will be looking to continue their good form against Juventus.

Roma's next game is against Juventus on Sunday. The match will be a key test for Mourinho's team, who will be looking to close the gap on the league leaders.
